As we begin to look at the candidates that are filing for office, let's discuss what issues are important to Utah Moms. Here is a tentative list of questions I would like to know the answers to. Please add to it by commenting below, I am sure I have forgotten some important things.
Education:
What are your education priorities?
If you support the following, explain how do you plan to implement it: vouchers, increasing the WPU, paying teachers more, reducing class sizes, more early childhood education, longer school years, or accountability?
How do you feel about charter schools? Where should their funding come from?
How will you support home-schoolers?
What was your feeling on the education omnibus bill of 2008?
Do you support the current abstinence only programs in public schools?
How will you keep higher education affordable in Utah?
Ethics
Should the Utah Legislature change the conflict of interest laws that apply to them?
Should a bipartisan committee exist to investigate ethics complaints?
Environment:
Does nuclear waste have a place in Utah?
How can we improve the air quality in Utah? Is that a priority?
Immigration:
What is the best way for the state to address this issue?
Health:
What would be the best health care reform for Utahns?
Families:
What legislation would best benefit Utah families?
Transportation:
With Utah's growth, what would be the best way to accommodate the increasing numbers of commuters?
Taxes:
How do you feel about the current tax levels on income, sales and property?
Priorities:
What are your priorities for your district and for the state?
What propelled you to run for office this year?

I like most of your questions. After much thought, I would add one under the topic of Ethics. If elected, who will you represent--the political operatives and financial contributors who supported your campaign or the voters who elected you and other citizens living in your district?
